Ingredients in Air Fryer Taco Pie
Oil - for sauteing your onion
Choose your protein - Any ground meat or meat alternative will work here - ground beef, ground turkey, beyond meat veggie alternative, etc.
Diced Onion - onion adds flavor and texture to the meat.
Corn Kernels - I love the addition of corn to the meat mixture.
Taco seasoning - use your favorite blend, or make your own!
Bisquick mix - what would a taco pie be without some biscuit-y crust?
Milk (of your choice) - for the biscuit topping.
Eggs - Eggs are also needed to mix with the Bisquick
Shredded Cheddar Cheese - You will definitely want to melt some cheese on top of this.
Chopped Lettuce - this adds color and crunch.
Diced Fresh Tomatoes - your finishing touch! Add the lettuce and tomatoes after your taco pie is done cooking

What to Serve with Air Fryer Taco Pie
I love to serve this taco pie with a simple mixed salad with lots of veggies. Some crunchy romaine lettuce with tomato, cucumber and a simple vinaigrette would be perfect.
Your favorite steamed or air fried vegetable would be delicious with this. Try Air Fryer Carrots or Air Fryer Green Beans.
You could try serving with black beans and rice too. Whatever your family would normally have with tacos would work well with this air fryer meal.
More Yummy Toppings for Taco Pie
Try adding these things to your Bisquick taco pie for some variation:
- Sliced black olives
- Diced avocado
- Salsa
- Sour Cream
- Cilantro
Anything you would put in a taco is fair game here.
How to Store Leftover Air Fryer Taco Pie
Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you know you’re going to eat it later, don’t add the fresh toppings on until ready to serve. they will get soggy in the fridge.
Why Use Bisquick Instead of Tortillas in Taco Pie?
Some people do use tortillas to make a similar recipe, but I find that using the Bisquick mix gives this dish a really nice texture and helps it to cook evenly in the air fryer.

Pro Tips
- Use Any Air Fryer: This recipe can be made in an air fryer unit with a basket or an air fryer oven. If you're using an air fryer oven, place your food on the middle rack and select the "air fry" function.
- Check your food as it cooks! Since each air fryer runs differently, sometimes air frying is a trial and error process. When cooking a new recipe, be sure to check on your food often. This will help you avoid over or undercooking, and help you learn your air fryer's specific ways!
